My Overall goal is to learn to be able to hold a full conversation with a native speaker in which I basically conduct a monologue in which I explain my hobbies, where I am from, and other interesting facts about myself. I do not plan on learning how to read or write.
I want to be able to say the following phrases:
My name is ...
I am 21 years old..
I am from ...
My favorite sport is ...
I enjoy doing ...
Hello, what is your name?
Where are you from?
Do you speak English?
What is your favorite sport?
I go to the University of Richmond
I am an International Student
I also expect to be able to:
Speak about my family to others
Speak about my general interests
Respond to a person telling me something
Plan
Week 1-2
Learning the alphabet (hearing sound differences)
I would start the whole process by learning Pronouns
Week 2-4
Learning descriptor words/adjectives
Learning verbs and grammar construction
Week 4-6
Putting what I learned together into sentences
Learn how to correctly construct sentences
Later weeks
Continue to build up sentence structure
Practice, practice, practice with friends and online sources
My Resources
* Interactive websites (like Learn101.org) concentrate on speech and pronunciation
*My friends will help me practice Urdu verbally, since I am a K learner this will help me
*My language partner will help me with questions, suggestions, phrases, pronunciation
